I know what the blue light is for but has anyone experienced the blue light keeping the A/C from kicking on (A/C compressor that is)? I live in Phoenix AZ and it's warm here most of the year. Right now, I leave my XB outside in the sun, 90 degrees all day long. After work, I go out and it takes about 3 minutes for that blue light to go out and the A/C to start pumping out cold air. Is this normal? I just got this car last year and it wasn't very hot when I got it so I have not seen this until now? Please help before I go to the dealer and they laugh at me!

 

don't know of anything that would stop the AC from pumping right away.
i know the AC is a lil bit weak for my taste (and others have noted it too)
might want to have the AC checked out by a good AC person. they can boost it up a bit (add more freon) and that seems to help some.

 

If your recycleing air, then you should draw outside air first because it is probably 100+ degrees in the car.

 

actually, having it on refresh makes it cooler faster no matter how hot it is inside.

 

i just keep it on recycle, but then again i only use my ac when im on the highway

 

The A/C not Running untill the light go's out is normal , Its controlled by the computer , not outside temp .. ( it bites but that's life ) .
